Crazy Golf at Stanley Park in Blackpool

A revisit to the Crazy Golf course at Stanley Park in Blackpool.

We were lucky enough to visit Blackpool twice in August last year and that meant we were able to revisit a number of miniature golf courses there. One of those was the Crazy Golf course at Stanley Park.

We first visited and played the course back in April 2008.

There used to be a grass Putting course next to the Crazy Golf. That's long gone, as is the Booking Office kiosk.

The Blackpool Tower

Unfortunately we didn't have time on either occasion to make the most of a full visit to the Blackpool Tower, so we're saving our visit to play the Dino Golf course there for another day.

Many thanks to our friends Sophia and Karl Moles for sending over some snaps from their recent visit to the Miniature Golf course at Suffolk Leisure Park in Ipswich.

We first visited the Suffolk Leisure Park minigolf course while it was under construction in December 2010. At that point the cups hadn't been cut out yet.

We played the course in May 2011.

A revisit to the abandoned Crazy Golf course at Starr Gate.

We were lucky enough to visit Blackpool twice in August last year and that meant we were able to revisit a number of miniature golf courses there.

One of them was the abandoned Crazy Golf course at Starr Gate in Blackpool.

Check out my other blog posts to see what the course looked like on the 10th August 2018 and in October 2016. The one time we played the course was in April 2008.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach Adventure Golf

A revisit to the Adventure Golf course at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

We were lucky enough to visit Blackpool twice in August last year and that meant we were able to revisit a number of miniature golf courses.

Visiting the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Adventure Golf course always bring a smile to my face as it was the scene of my victory in the Blackpool Pleasure Beach Open tournament in 2009.

We first visited the course in 2008 when we helped to launch the course and competed in the inaugural Blackpool Pleasure Beach Open tournament - won by minigolf legend Chris Harding. The course was number 44 on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Visit the Blackpool Pleasure Beach website for more information on prices and opening times.

Check out the blog post from our visit to the course on a sunnier day in early August.

Upgrades to Wimbledon Park's Crazy Golf course

Plans for upgrades to the Crazy Golf course in London's Wimbledon Park have been approved.

How the course looked in 2013

I visited the Wimbledon Park Crazy Golf course in March 2013. It was the 524th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 314th course played since September 2006.

A snap from my visit in 2013

The new course will have a local Wimbledon-theme.

The Crazy Golf course at Wimbledon Park is operated by Merton Council. They also run the course at Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Playing Fields.

New course at Dino Falls Adventure Golf at Trafford Golf Centre

Plans are underway to expand the Dino Falls Adventure Golf course at Trafford Golf Centre.

There are plans for a further 18-holes at Dino Falls

The existing 18-hole dinosaur-themed course opened in November 2017 and has proved to be incredibly popular. The team at Trafford Golf Centre are now planning to add another 18-hole course to the venue.

We played the original Dino Falls Adventure Golf course last April

Dino Falls Adventure Golf is one of our local courses and is just a short drive down the M60. It was the 476th course played and 792nd visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

For more information on the new course, and opening times and prices for the existing course visit the Dino Falls Adventure Golf website.

Check out some more photos from our visit to Dino Falls Adventure Golf last year.

Last April I competed in the first-ever DinoFalls Masters Adventure Golf competition at the Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester - and won it!

I added the Dino Falls Masters title to my minigolf resume last season

I've now won four tournaments at the Trafford Golf Centre site. In addition to the DinoFalls Masters and the MMGC Invitational, I won the 2009 Mini Masters and Mini Open on the 9-hole Championship Miniature Golf course which used to be at the venue. That particular course was the 84th played on our tour. It closed in 2013.

We're looking forward to swinging by the new course at Dino Falls Adventure Golf when it opens.
